Who is around?

pokepoke27 · June 2012

And Special - if you're still here I'm reading the Dear Prudence thread now. Wtf? I don't think she's harsh at all. And while I wouldn't think it's terrible for the girl to work it out, I also would be totally behind her divorcing him immediately.

And someone needs to take these cherries away from me.

StefffiC · June 2012

DH won't be home until 7:30 or so. Nice...

It feels like it's so much later than 4:15 here, we've been talking about it dragging all day!

sarabear23 · June 2012

I too am jealous of the pedicure! I need one so badly.

specialk84 · June 2012

Eagles, I meant to ask you earlier, but are you changing your name? I thought you said a few months ago that you were keeping yours. Obviously, I don't particularly care what you do with your name, since it is not mine. I just like knowing what you want to be called. Oh, and I have no intention of stopping the use of your nickname.

Dear Rachers H

Sure you can go hit some golf balls after work. You should also pick up an extra blanket on the way home for your move to the couch ; )

<div>I have similar issues with my feet. I wouldn't get one for years. But my mom bullied me into getting one and it was FANTASTIC. I encourage you to try it : )</div>

Poke, H and I once ate an entire bag of cherries in about half an hour. As a kid, I loved them, since my dad's friend had a ranch with sheep and a cherry orchard. I'd pick them off the trees and eat them until I barfed. Then I'd go pet something furry.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Who is around? : That made me laugh. :P But seriously? He was like "Tell them I had to work late". WTF. Although, TBH, I know he's superly stressed (as I said in the GM thread) so I know the last thing he wants to do is have dinner with his family. Trust me, I'D much rather go hit some golf balls and I don't even own a club. But come on. <strong>We're a team here</strong>.

specialk84 · June 2012

Rach, can you guys just tell FIL you aren't available tonight? I don't think you should have to go alone, but I can see where your H is coming from. My H knows better than to stick me in a room with his family when I've had a bad day or am really stressed.

pokepoke27 · June 2012

I'm getting to that point Special. H had some cherries - and I've had almost all the rest. It was a 2 lb bag and now there are like 20 left. In my defense it has been close to an hour and a half that I've been eating them. I don't actually know if thats better or worse.

angelstar975 · June 2012

I don't know that I want to change my name. I love my name.

I just got an email back from FMIL telling me that as always, she appreciates my candor and that it's refreshing. She said she will of course not talk to the priest unless we want her to.

specialk84 · June 2012

It would be awesome if he would change his name so you could be The AwesomeNicknames. I forget--has it been outed here? I don't want to cross a line and have you come hunt me down.

pokepoke27 · June 2012

Eagles - I'm in the process of changing my name on everything now and it's not fun. The SSA wasn't actually too bad but we were at the DDS for like three hours. I am relieved that the passport is being done through the mail.

I've seen people refer to her as said nickname here, although I'm not sure if that's because she's cool with it or didn't notice it lol.

pokepoke27 · June 2012

Okay, we're running a few errands now. England won and is now in the Quarter Finals - which they haven't done since 1996. H is pleased - but worried about the next game which is against Italy (a very good team). Because I know you all care ; )

Bye ladies

specialk84 · June 2012

Poke (I think?), I changed it. We were announced repeatedly as Mr. and Mrs. NewLast.

Part of me really misses my maiden name. I'm still not completely used to answering to the new name. Part of me really likes the new name, likes having the same name as my husband. Yet another part of me thinks it's so completely unfair that women are the ones expected to do this, to somehow devote themselves more fully to a marriage by changing something that so identifies them. Deciding to change it was something I did not decide lightly. I went back and forth on it for a long time.

I'm heading home to clean house before hubby gets home.

Rosie109 · June 2012

My god is it Friday yet? I am exhausted. Work is slowly sucking out my soul through my eyebawls.

wadingmoose · June 2012

I stuck with my maiden name. Mainly because no one ever asks me how to spell it. Mr. Moose's last name? Always. ALL. WAYS. Heck, people pronounce it wrong all the time.

When we're in Vegas and he has to give a name for a reservation or the valet? He gives my name. Saves time and effort.

ski2play · June 2012

Afternoon ladies. I am taking my FI's name in two weeks. I have had my current last name longer than I had my married name. It is sweet and simple. My new English last name is a mouthful.

StefffiC · June 2012

*head*desk*head*desk

I haven't escaped and looks like I'll be stuck here another 45 minutes helping someone.

I need to quit griping about my job and either change it or make the best of it.

adamar15 · June 2012

My new last name is WAY more fun than my maiden name. I had no qualms about changing it.

Hi Rosie. How's kicks? Besides the soul-sucking, that is.

Who is around?
